MS IntVCh Message Fields

Figure 34 MS IntVCh Message Fields

T1T2

This field identifies the received message as an order confirmation, an order, or a

called address message.

SCC

SAT color code field.

MIN2

Second part of the mobile identification number field.

VMAC

This field displays the voice mobile attenuation code. It shows the mobile

station’s power level associated with the designated voice channel.

CHAN

Channel number field. Indicates the designated voice channel.

Parity
